基督信仰文章的部落格

 
    我們需要明白，神對我們的指正真的不是為了排拒我們，
    而祂不贊同我們的行為、也不代表祂不接納我們。
    我們很難信任某些人、除非你先相信他們愛你。
    而事實上，我們早已擁有神的愛了- - 許多人只是不知道罷了！
    我們必須學習信靠神，因為祂常常因著愛而糾正你的缺失、
    也帶領你往你並不熟悉的路上走。
    你說神不愛你嗎？ 神愛你最有力的證明之一正是- -
    神會說出你的錯、且願意幫助你～
 
     We need to understand that God's correction is not rejection at all,
     and His disapproval of our actions is not disapproval of us!
      It's hard to trust someone unless you first believe they love you.
      We already have His love -- we just don't know it !!
      We must learn to trust God, for often He'll deal with you correctively
      and lead you in ways you don't understand.
      Don't God love you?
      One of the strongest proofs that God loves you is the fact
      that He corrects you and He's willing to help you~

    前言：原先弟弟不懂事、吵著分家產離開，潦倒後、大徹大悟回家了，父親歡喜擺宴慶祝。。哥哥卻嘟嘴生氣了（路15：12 - 32）。

    這『哥哥情結』產生三個可能的結果：
    (1) 小心，你可能是天父的孩子，但不是一個親切的神家弟兄姊妹。
    (2) 小心，你可能願忠誠地服事主，但卻真的沒有與主同心。
    (3) 小心，你可能以為自己得到神所有的產業，但居然心有苦毒、不自由。

    聖經故事中的僕人比這有名分的哥哥還快樂、看的還更清楚。
    小心，這『哥哥情結』將阻擋天父在你生命中想賜給你的許多福。

    默想：當天父樂意饒恕別人時，我為什麼不饒恕？
                 神國不在乎吃喝、更不以嚴峻律法來綁人，我為什麼不體會主的心？
                 神是喜樂的神，我既是祂的孩子、為何不像祂？ 
 

   The " older brother " attitude has three possible results :
   (1) It's possible to be a son yet refuse to act like a brother.
   (2) It's possible to serve God faithfully yet not be in sync with His will.
   (3) It's possible to be an heir to all your father 's possesses
          yet have less joy and liberty than one who possesses nothing.
   The hired servants were happier than the older brother.
   An " Older brother " attitude will block
   the flow of God's blessing in your life too.

   你必須將『你是誰』與『你做什麼』分開
   否則你的自我價值將會上下波動、如同選舉期間政治人物的聲勢一樣
   每一個人都犯錯、但上帝永遠愛我們這個人
   人對我們有何看法不太重要 
   不要讓『渴望被人認同的意念』凌駕於你、控制你
   請注意：凡你所行，應當是為了神的榮耀
   神對你有何看法才重要
   當你經驗到你的心及行事為人得神喜悅了
   你的靈也滿足而喜悅
   別人的意見不能綑綁你
   這是自由
 
      You've got to know who you are apart from what you do,
      otherwise your self-worth will fluctuate like a politician's popularity
      in an election year.
     Everybody makes mistakes, but God truely loves us.
     Think nothing of what people think of you
      Thirsting for recognition gives others power over you.
      Listen : " Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. "
     How God view you matters absolutely. 
     When you experience God's pleasure in your heart and what you're doing,
      Your spirit satisfies and cheers,
      Anybody else's affirmation won't bind you.
      This is really freedom.

   耶穌在祂的路程上多跋涉了好幾哩、為了在井邊跟個心靈傷痛的人說話。
   聖經沒寫那婦人的名字，。。她離婚五次了、
   性關係隨便、聲名狼籍、碰見耶穌的當時還正跟男友同居。。
   這裡請務必明瞭，
   耶穌沒有看她壞、耶穌視她為『失落』，很大不一樣喔！
   所以一旦那婦人『被尋回』- -
   她因神而剛強的程度，就相當於過去被魔鬼蹂躪的程度了。  
 『那城裡有好些撒瑪利亞人信了耶穌、因為那婦人作見證』（約 4：39）。
 

  Jesus walked miles out of His way to speak to a lonely woman at a well.
  She was a no-name, five times divorced,
 
  promiscuous woman with a bad reputation and a live-in boyfriend.
  Please understand right now,
  Jesus didn't see this woman as bad, He saw her as " lost ". Big difference!
  Once she " was found " - -
 
  she was the kind of person
  who'd be as strong for God as she'd been for the devil.
 “Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him
   because of the woman's testimony"(John 4：39）。

  人的愛總有條件、神卻是唯一的例外。
  神愛你、這是祂的決定，不是你好不好、壞不壞。
  你無法賺取、也不能影響祂對你純淨的愛。
  使徒保羅寫：『惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死、
  神的愛就在此向我們顯明了』（羅5：8）。
  你若與神同在，就像是葡萄枝子連結樹幹、枝子是倚靠葡萄樹的。
  葡萄枝子若不接著樹幹、鐵定結不出任何葡萄來，
  人也一樣，你若不信靠神、也不可能有祂美好的屬性，不可能。
  與大家分享詩篇23篇 ( 詩歌 )～ 
 

  Others love you conditionally, but not God.
  He loves you because He decides to, no matter you're good or bad.
  You can neither earn nor influence God's love.
  Paul writes, ”God showed His great love for us by sending Christ
  to die for us while we were still sinners.”
  To abide in His love is to cling to Christ like a branch clings to a vine.
  The branch is vine-dependent.
  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine,
  so neither can you unless you abide in God.

    你是否因你的過去而蠻有罪惡感呢？如果是的話、請聽：
    神說：『我不再記念他們的罪愆、和他們的過犯』（來10：17）。
    會是上帝健忘嗎？
    不是！！而是『有恩典』的祂選擇不再緊緊記住你的罪！
    當你複習自己過去的失敗時、你不只保持它們不死、更加增它們力量摧毀你。
    唯有你饒恕自己及別人、你才能真正拆除那個纏住你的綑綁。
    罪孽的控告是一個重擔，親愛的，耶穌已經為你在十架上扛下來了！
    盼你真心悔改、接受這寶貴的救恩，將那重擔在十架前卸下吧！然後走開。
    
      Do you feel guilt over your past ? If so , listen :
     " Their sins ... will I remember no more . "
     Is God forgetful ?
      No , God of grace chooses not to remember your sins !
      When you rehearse your past failures you not only keep them alive ,
      you empower them.
      Only by forgiving yourself , and others, can you truly break the hold
      the past has over you and be able to get on with your life.
      Shame is a weight. Dear ..Jesus carried for you on the cross.
      Repent、set it down before Him and then walk away !

      我在想：如果我們對待聖經的態度像手機那樣。。會如何？
      如果我們無論往何處、總帶著聖經走（裝在口袋或包包裡），如何？
      如果我們不慎遺失聖經、一定會回頭找，如何？
      如果我們一天能翻看好幾回聖經，如何？
      如果我們常藉著聖經來接收訊息，如何？
      如果我們是『沒有聖經活不下去』的心態，如何？
      如果我們將聖經當貴重禮物送給孩子，如何？
      如果我們發生緊急狀況時、第一反應想到聖經，如何？
      。。。。
      聖經不像手機，我們永遠不用擔心聖經不通、因為耶穌已經付全費了！ 
     思考：『你們若真與基督一同復活、就當。。思念上面的事、不要思念地上的事』（西3：2）。基督徒是天國的子民，活在地上、卻不屬於這世界。
                    耶穌說：『我的國不屬這世界』～
 
       I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible
      like we treat our cell-phones ?
      What if we always carried it around in our pockets or purses ?
      What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it ?
      What if we flipped through it several times a day ?
      What if we used it to receive messages ?
      What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it ?
      What if we gave it to kids as wonderful gifts ?
      What if we thought of  it in case of an emergency ?
       。。。。。。。。
      Unlike our cell phones, we don't ever have to worry about our Bible
      being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill !

    在神的國度中，偉大存在於真正神僕人的特質裡。
    神的僕人不完美，但在心態上、都準備好接受呼召了。
    他們服事人不會挑地點、也不會選時間，他們找機會去付出，敏銳而自發。
    他們用盡各種辦法、在任何場所任何時候，盡他們所能、做到最好的程度。
    他們服事的對象是一切接觸得到的人。
    他們做小事如同做大事，為神的榮耀而活、不希冀人的肯定與掌聲。
    鎂光燈下不一定找得到偉大。
    神關切黑暗之處需要幫助的人們，而。。他們與神同心～
 
     Greatness exists in characters of real God's servants .
     Real God's servants are ready to jump into service when called on.
     They don't pick where or when they'll serve.
     They learn to be more sensitive and spontaneous , find ways to give.
     By all the means they can ,  in all the places they can ,
     at all the times they can ,  as long as they  ever can ,  
     do all the good they can , to all the people they can.
     Do these little things as they were great things.
     They live for God's glory not for people's approval.
     Greatness  cannot  neccesarily be found in the lights.
     God cares about people in need at dark places, and real servants  ..
     their heart and attitude are the same as that of God.

     『放手不管』並不容易，特別當我們不安、或天性愛掌控人事時。
      一個太太嚷著：『但有時，我老公簡直要把我搞瘋了』。。
      聽聽妳老公的心聲吧！。。也許妳讓他一樣難受。
      世上沒有兩個人是百分之百契合、凡事同心的。
    『放手』，不意味『你冷漠不在乎對方』，
      卻是安心容許對方為結果負責、且能從中學習，  
      也是因為了解『我們唯一能改變的人』就是自己而已，
      那充分表達了你『少一點惶恐、多一點信心』的平安。
      對誰的信心？
      上帝！   
      
       Keeping our hands off certain things isn't easy,
       especially when we're insecure or controlling by nature.
     " But sometimes my husband drives me crazy ".
       Maybe you drive him crazy too !
       No two people are a hundred percent compatible.
       Letting go doesn't mean you don't care,
       it just means allowing others to learn from their consequences.
       It's about realizing that the only person you can change is you.
       It's about fearing less and trusting more.
       In whom to trust ？
       God！！

  我們都需要誠實的朋友、因為我們是容易自欺的。
  當上帝安排一個人來指正你時、正因為祂愛你～
  當我們錯了，要學習認錯。
  讓我們願意聆聽、很快改正過來，我們要有受教的心。
  我們不要『難說話』或『不講理』，
  。。可親一點吧，好嗎？
  讓我們討厭虛假，不管真理多麼扎我們的心、我們都願意向真理低頭。
  試著更敞開心來、那對誰都是好的。 

  All of us need honest friends because we're easily blinded by our egos.
  When God sends somebody to correct you, it's because He loves you.
  
  Let's learn to admit when we're wrong .
  Let's be willing to hear, quick to do right and always open to counsel;
  let's be accessible;
  let's hates anything phoney and are committed to the truth
  regardless of how much it hurts.
  Try to be more open , that's good for everybody !

      一天、一個年輕韓國人到了航空櫃臺。
      他解釋，就在九年前他拿兒童票上飛機，現在他是來補差額的。
      機場人員沒看過人有這款誠實法、大家目瞪口呆。
      當年韓戰爆發時、他十七歲。他爸爸死後、沒留下錢。
      幸虧一些朋友幫他湊款勉強買到了一張兒童票、為了讓他到安全的地方。
      之後、他被神呼召當了牧師。
      神對屬靈人的要求，其品格與『對祂話語的持守』遠遠勝過教派或能力。
      現在也不要推託你不是基督徒、不要賴說你不是牧師，
      總之，神造你，請你敬畏神的原則吧！
      好好靜下心來問自己。。你需要做什麼來恢復自己清潔的良心嗎？
      想到了就去做！。。去做！
   （熱情歡迎主內弟兄姊妹講講自己的經歷，很感謝～）
 
 
      A young Korean approached the counter at Airlines and
      explained that nine years earlier , he'd travelled on a child's ticket.
       Now he wanted to pay the difference .
      The agent was dumbfounded by his honesty ！
       He was 17 when the Korean War broke out.
      His dad died and he had no money,
      so some friends bought him a child's ticket to let him get to safer place.
      Later, he became pastor.
      God's choice of  leaders has less to do with connections and charisma
      than with character and conformity to His Word.
      So, now neither say you're not a Christian nor you're not a pastor.
      Obey God's principle!
      Ask yourself  what you need to do to make things right- - then do it !
